    The Pi 5 costs around $126, not including the SSD or case…

    The Pi 5 8GB is $80. Where is the extra $46 if they aren’t including the case and SSD? Taxes at 20%, which is generous, would only increase the cost by $17 if they are including the $5 fan. That means shipping would be around $24, which seems a bit high.

      The prices are taken from a ExplainingComputers Video at 3:35

      For the Pi it includes the Active Cooler, M.2 HatDrive and PSU.

      For the N100, besides the board also RAM and PSU.

      Should have been clarified in the article.

        I completely overlooked the PSU and didn’t even realize they were using a M.2 Hatdrive which makes the price tag line up with the states $126.

        As you stated it wasn’t in the article just the video which I didn’t watch so the misunderstanding is on me.

      I’m not sure. With official cooling and PSU it’s about $100 before taxes and shipping. I know the n100 mini PCs are cheaper than $187 as well. Could just be their particular country/region and setup.

      It’s Toms Hardware, who have a long history of obvious Intel bias, so that probably plays a part
